Title: Service allocation and assigning method and program therefor
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2002-02-11
Abstract: Service Allocation and Assigning Method and Program therefor A computer sever-based process for matching users of a messaging system requiring a particular service to those users of the same messaging system who have identified themselves as being capable of providing such a service is described. Practically, a messaging service provider (MSP) provides a messaging server connected to the internet on which calendaring functions are offered to users of the MSP in the wider internet community. The users requiring a service create an item in the messaging system including descriptive textual information concerning the service required and one or more proposed times and dates when that service would ideally be required. In accordance with the invention, those users of the MSP wanting to offer services also create items including descriptive textual information concerning the service provided and a plurality of times when said service is capable of being provided, whereafter a routine is executed which effects the following: a query string is derived from the textual and time and date information entered by the user requiring a service said query string is used to query the messaging system database to extract relevant records identifying users offering a service of the type described and available at the relevant time and date the information retrieved from the database is returned to the user requiring a service with information identifying the said users offering said service.

Title: Arrangement and method for channel mapping in a wireless communication system
IPC: H04J13/00
Filed: 2002-04-08
Abstract: An arrangement and method for channel mapping in a UTRA TDD HSDPA wireless communication system by applying interleaving functions in first (530) and second (540) interleaving means to a bit sequence to produce symbols for mapping to physical channels, the first and second interleaving means being arranged to map symbols from respectively systematic and parity bits in a predetermined scheme, e.g., mapping symbols in a forward direction when a channel has an even index number, and in a reverse direction when a channel has an odd index number. The symbols may comprise bit-pairs, each of a systematic bit and parity bit. Systematic bits are preferably mapped to high reliability bit positions in TDD HSDPA, achieving a performance gain of between 0.2 dB and 0.5 dB. The forwards/reverse mapping allows a degree of interleaving that improves system performance in fading channels or channels disturbed by short time period noise or interference.

Title: Mobile radio communications device and method of operation
IPC: H04W52/02
Filed: 2003-07-08
Abstract: Operation of a wireless radio device which is capable of communication in at least two radio access technologies (RAT), each of which has a different power consumption requirement, in which, after determining the power pack level of the device, a selection of one of the RAT is made, according to the power pack level. A threshold value, which is chosen to be above the level below which a RAT having a higher power requirement becomes unsuitable, may be used in selection. The threshold value may also account for high current-draw conditions. A false reporting of a RAT in order to force a network relocation, may also be employed. The operation may also include a switch to a RAT of lower power when the device is in stand-by mode. The device may also be powered-down if the threshold of the lower power RAT is reached. The monitored power-pack level may also be the voltage available at the battery.

Patent GB-8703515-D0 (GB)
Title: Computer-controlled cordless telephone
IPC: H04W52/02
Filed: 1987-02-16
Abstract: A computer-controlled cordless telephone system having a base unit and a handset unit provides for increased functionality in communications between the base unit and the handset unit, and also provides a controlled power-up/power-down mode of operation for the handset unit. Increased functionality is achieved by employing a message format for control signals transmitted between the base unit and the handset unit in the form of frequency shift keyed (FSK) signals which include a data field. This data field may be in the form of either opcode data or digit data, thereby allowing for many different commands or functions. Power to a computer, a receiver and certain other selected circuitry in the handset unit is controlled to minimize power consumption when the handset unit is in an out-of-cradle-and-standby state. Power to other nonessential circuitry in the handset unit is turned completely off during this state. The handset unit automatically turns on to a full operating mode from the alternating power-up/power-down mode in response to events such as (1) a user depressing a key no the keypad of the handset unit for either initiating a telephone calls or paging the base unit, and (2) the base unit detecting an incoming ringing signal on the telephone lines.

Title: Disc brake
IPC: F16D55/226
Filed: 1990-12-04
Abstract: A disc brake comprises a caliper housing 10 having a body member 12 and an arm member 14 connected to one another by a bridge 16. A leading side of the arm member 14, that is the side which the rotor of a disc brake reaches first during normal rotation thereof, is more rigid than a trailing side thereof. A set of stiffening fibres 28, 30 is provided in each of first and second bridge portions 22, 24 of the bridge 16 to produce the difference in rigidities between the leading and trailing sides of the caliper housing 10, wherein the first bridge portion 22 comprises a greater density of fibres 28 than the second bridge portion 24. This difference in rigidities reduces uneven wear of the brake pad and, as a consequence, reduces brake squeal and noise. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

Title: Air separation
IPC: F25J3/04
Filed: 1995-03-21
Abstract: A stream of precooled and purified air is introduced through an inlet 2 into a double rectification column comprising a higher pressure rectification column 4 and a lower pressure rectification column 6 and is separated therein into an oxygen-rich fraction and a nitrogen-rich fraction. A stream of argon-enriched oxygen vapour flows from an outlet 70 of the lower pressure rectification column 6 into a side column 52 in which argon is separated therefrom. An oxygen-enriched liquid air stream is taken from an outlet 16 at the bottom of the higher pressure rectification column 4. A vaporous oxygen-enriched air stream is introduced into the lower pressure rectification column 6 through an inlet 46 above the outlet 70. At least part of the oxygen-enriched liquid is partially reboiled in a reboiler 22 and separated in a further rectification column 28, thereby forming a vapour depleted of oxygen and a liquid air stream further enriched in oxygen. At least one stream of the further-enriched liquid is vaporised to form the oxygen-enriched vapour that is introduced through the inlet 46 into the lower pressure rectification column 6. A part of the oxygen-depleted vapour is condensed and is taken as product or reintroduced into the lower pressure rectification column 6. The partial reboiling in the reboiler 22 is effected by indirect heat exchange with a stream withdrawn through an outlet 200 from an intermediate region of the side column 52. <IMAGE>
